Milacron Continues to Innovate, New High Output Extruders and Sheet
Extrusion Lines for Polyolefins

November 28, 2016 02:14 PM Eastern Standard Time

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Milacron Holdings Corp. (NYSE: MCRN), a leading industrial technology
company serving the plastics processing industry announced its entry
into the polyolefin sheet extrusion market.

Polyolefins make up the highest volume of thermoplastic products in the
world and uses range from rigid materials to industrial food packaging
and waterproof film. Research and development are increasing the variety
of polyolefins, and as a result, they are steadily replacing traditional
materials in many applications.

In the second quarter of 2015 Milacron delivered its first polyolefin
thick sheet extrusion line consisting of a PAK400 single screw extruder
and a PAK650 single screw extruder. The twin machines increased the
output rates to 2,100 lbs/hr (950 kg/hr). This represents a new product
category for Milacron’s extrusion offering. Milacron has since delivered
a second line in the second quarter of 2016 and has additional systems
to deliver in early 2017.

The first Sheet Extrusion line has been in operation for 12 months,
running 24/7 and the customer is reporting excellent performance.
Milacron has installed in-line embossing capability to these sheet
extrusion lines, eliminating the need to emboss offline, saving
the customer another setup and eliminating the need to reheat the sheet,
which can result in additional stress, and cause possible warping. These
new sheet lines are engineered and installed by Milacron. This
advancement allows Milacron to broaden their capability in packaging,
medical and other high-output sheet applications.

Milacron is known globally for their injection molding prowess and
industry leading brands Mold-Masters, Uniloy, DME and CIMCOOL, all
well-known entities within the plastics and manufacturing community.
Included in this portfolio are some of the industry’s most innovative
extruder designs, a major part of the Milacron portfolio since 1972.

Brian Marston, President, Milacron Extrusion explains how Milacron’s
extrusion offering differs from many of their competitors, “Milacron’s
lineup of extrusion systems are designed and built in house, we are
producing the equipment in our Cincinnati, OH, Ahmedabad, India and
Jiangyin, China facilities. Our demonstration and development
laboratories have made a science of optimizing processing via natural
compression. This creates a highly customizable approach for our
customers: one that increases productivity, output and accuracy, while
reducing costs.”

Marston went on to explain Milacron’s depth of extrusion expertise,
“From extruders, to new and rebuilt extrusion barrels and screws, pipe
heads, dies and downstream equipment, with Milacron, you get powerful,
reliable solutions that meet unique customer needs.”

Milacron continues to push the boundaries of possibilities in plastics
with breakthrough products from leading brands including Milacron,
Mold-Masters, DME, Ferromatik, Uniloy and CIMCOOL.
